Former MobileMe members received a complimentary storage plan after moving to iCloud between October 12, 2011, and August 1, 2012. On September 30, 2013, the complimentary iCloud storage plans expired and were automatically adjusted to the free 5 GB plan. If you already purchased a storage plan, no further action is required.

What should I do if I'm using more than 5 GB of storage?
If you're using more than 5 GB of storage, you can either reduce the amount of iCloud storage that you're using, or purchase a storage plan with a larger amount of storage than you’re currently using.
What happens if the storage I'm using exceeds the total storage available?
If the storage you're using in iCloud exceeds the total storage available, iCloud Backup, Documents in the Cloud, and iCloud Mail will temporarily stop working. To resume using these features, you can either reduce the amount of iCloud storage that you're using, or purchase a storage plan with a larger amount of storage than you're currently using.
